Ok Tech whizzes, i have a huge-o problem. my last phone converted the SD card into a file system called RAW, and is only readable when in my old phone. no matter how many times i format the phone changes the file system atomically is there any way way i can get it back to FAT?

Best bet will be with a card reader, you can pick up a cheap one (approx. R50) from most computer shops. Just check that it accepts your type of card. And as always, be wary of retarded sales guys that will try to up-sell you to one of the more expensive ones.

Yeah. Pop into a pc and right click and choose format.

What phone type do you have? if you stick it into another model phone, like a Nokia and format it using that phone, then it should work properly when you plug it back into yoursand click format. My SD card did this once.

Do exactly as Azraphael and Chevron said it.
